Book Reviews of Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative
Book Review: Long term successful experience
Summary: 5 Stars
This book (in it's past version - the one with a dark blue cover) saved my mom! She is a teacher and constantly had her hands bleeding her students' papers. Besides the pain and danger of having an open cut, it's a sad problem. She had tried several doctors in Brazil and in the USA, but during eight years all they perscribed were gross cortisone ointments. As a natural born reseacher who believes in natural alternative treatments, she never quit looking for an existing solution, and found one in this book!
Now she lives a normal life. She started doing every single suggestion and together with the Enema (which extremelly important!!) she fasted with liquids as lemon juice and vegetable water during one week, to detox the most. The only one she skipped from the book was the spinal alignment, because she has osteoporosis and won't take what she sees as a dangerous risk.
With time, she stopped taking the teas because they tasted too strong. She gets some minutes of sun with her students every morning and knows that if she eats Tomatoes (specially, and it's everywhere), red meat, sea food and certain mixtures like banana with... coffee with milk, and, of course, vinager!!! : The allergic reation Appears For Sure in about 3 days. The blood's acid ph level takes more than a week, sometimes two, to be rebalanced again. This is a logical fact.
Our observance showed us that stress influences nothing in comparisson with an unappropriated nutrition care. Her disease is controlled since then - more than four years ago! We are so grateful for this discovery! I wish that this knowledge can be recognized by most doctors and scientists around the world.
We thank Amazon for offering this space for us!! And hope more and more people can benefit from this book's precious informations!
My mother's allergy started after a toilet burst and dirty the entire house with sewage, when she bought all the products she found for cleaning and used them all at once... It appears mainly on her hands, but sometimes on her scalp, bally, knees and feet also. [ I myself believe that like many allergies do, her can simply desappear one day.]
Good Luck!!!

Book Review: itworks
Summary: 5 Stars
I just want to add my results to the many reviews for this book. My daughter, 6 y.o., has guttate psoriasis for almost 8 months now. Right when she was diagnosed with it I asked the dermatologist what I could do about her diet. He said nothing. We went to a total of 4 dermatologists and they all said the same thing. The last doctor speiciailized in pediatric dermatology gave me three choices for treatment: UV light, methotrexate, or biologic injections, besides the high potency steroid creams that she prescribed. At first the creams worked great but as all psoriasis patients know that oftentimes their efficacy wears off. I was so desperate about the "incurability" of this disease. I found this book on Amazon. I read and reread the book and decided to call Dr. Pagano to get clerarer instructions since I was going to be trying it on a little girl. He gave some helpful suggestions and assured me that if I follow through, my daughter will see results. I started the diet in mid December 2008. After 2 weeks, I started to see a flareup. I was very worried but Dr. Pagano warned that a purging reaction may happen. I started giving the slippery elm , saffron tea, and lecithin after 1 month of the diet (January 2009). After 2 months of the complete regimen, her scalp is now clear and the lesions on her back, chest, bottoms are almost gone. The areas on her legs and arms are fading away. If you are a parent of a child that suffers any diseases, I'm sure you know how ecstatic I felt! I don't use any drug right now on my daughter. It's such a good feeling to be able to not have to put any harmful medication on a little child. I just wanted to write this for other parents who are searching for a treatment for their children. The diet is difficutle for a picky child but the results are worth it. Your child may lose some weight but hopefully with time she will see that it's a lifestyle that will give her clear skin and be able to wear clothes that she likes instead of trying to cover all the red spots.Book Review: There is a Cure
Summary: 5 Stars
With "Healing Psoriasis" Dr. Pagano has created a book of hope for any sufferer of this disfiguring disease. The medical community isn't interested in finding a cure, and insists that, in fact, there is no cure at all for Psoriasis. Their only solution, is to prescribe creams that treat the problem topically, but mostly without lasting results.
Here is where Pagano comes in. He offers a drug-free alternative. And it makes perfect sense (to me at least). In his book he describes a treatment plan for Psoriasis, that he has come up with after researching, and healing the disease for over 40 years.
This isn't one of those books that promises an easy cure. If you want to get rid of Psoriasis, you have to make some drastic lifestyle changes. One of the key elements in this treatment is diet. You will have to avoid a lot of your favorites. Only then can your body heal from the inside out.
The author is very good at breaking down all of the required steps, into small and manageable ones. I found the appendix very helpful, where Pagano goes over all the allowed and forbidden foods, and gives you some very handy lists for easy reference.
The book includes a lot of before-and-after pictures of Dr. Pagano's psoriasis patients. And seeing their results is very encouraging and helps you to believe in the effectiveness of the treatment plan. The only thing I found disappointing is that in this updated book edition the pictures are only black and white. In the 1st book edition all the pictures were in color and covered a whole page. That just made more of an impression on me.
But the inclusion of recipes in this edition made up for all that. I was kind of at a loss after reading the original book, because I had no clue of what to eat. So I was glad to discover that the updated version included actual recipes.
Overall, a helpful and easy to understand book which I couldn't recommend more!
Book Review: A good and necessary reference!
Summary: 5 Stars
After years and years without any outbreaks, last winter I found myself suffering from one of the worst outbreaks of my life. I had it bad over both lower legs, one knee, part of one arm, patches here and there on my body, and both elbows. I don't have any idea what precipitated it, and I was at a loss as to what to do outside the normal ointments, lotions, etc... I read the book Healing Psoriasis, and only implemented the use of witch hazel, After about 1 month of use, 1 month off, and some FL sunshine, I'm almost free of any indication of psoriasis - other than the redness which subsides after awhile. I'd also used an Rx before starting the witch hazel, but not once I started the witch hazel. I don't know if it was the witch hazel or shear dumb luck, but whatever it was, I'll take it!
I think "Healing Psoriasis" is a good book, one well worth reading if you suffer from psoriasis. Before this, I found that the antidepressant, Cymbalta, worked really well at keeping my psoriasis at bay - even though it didn't do diddly for pain - which is what it was prescribed for. I had psoriasis so bad this time my doctor wanted me to go on a biological, even though there were good reasons why I shouldn't. I vehemently opposed, even though he was really pushing me, and it wasn't until the dermatologist agreed with me that he let up. Just goes to show there are alternatives, and dangerous medicine doesn't always need to be employeed. "Healing Psoriasis" offers good alternatives to those dangerous drugs which completely knock out the immune system.
Book Review: The solution for psoriasis sufferers?
Summary: 5 Stars
After 10 years of mild psoriasis I developed psoriatic arthritis, which really was starting to mess up my life.
I went to conventional doctors, who prescribed for me methotrexate, and dispensed it together with a thick booklet "how to live with psoriatic arthritis". Conclusion? They are not expecting me to get better.
So I looked for alternatives, and was recommended this book by Jason Vale (aka the Juicemaster - [...])
Based on reading the reviews of the book I started the regimen before it was delivered, and before finishing reading the book there is already improvement of my skin condition.
I intend to persevere until I am entirely cured, and although I am still taking the methotrexate, I do believe that the improvement is due to the regimen and not the drug.
I have already consulted with my family doctor about discontinuing the drug, and he agrees. Soon I have an appointment with the specialist for the same purpose.
I will come back here and post further when I'm cured.
Having read the book, I truly do not understand why this kind of treatment is considered "alternative treatment", and is not adopted by the medical community. It all makes so much sense, and fully aligns with living a healthier life.
Well actually - I do understand - If everyone believed healing was this easy, a lot of big corporations would be losing big bucks...
